Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne tells airmen in a new letter that he plans to institute “refined initial and developmental education for all ranks” to take USAF’s educational foundation “to the next level.” The service has extended basic training to provide combat indoctrination and is providing cultural and language classes in some professional military education settings. Wynne says airmen must “be relentless” toward becoming “knowledge-enabled.”
The Space Force is playing midwife to a new ecosystem of commercial satellite constellations providing alternatives to the service’s own Global Positioning Service from much closer to the Earth, making their signals more accurate and harder to jam.
